The deadline for nominations was Friday, November 11, 2011.
Making a Nomination
- Organizations may nominate themselves or others. All nominees will be contacted to confirm willingness to receive an award.
- "Multi-party business application implementations" are welcome (see Notes below)
- All award nominations must be supported by an application (see link above).
Who can be nominated - eligibility.
- Nominees must be involved in the Property & Casualty business as a practitioner or supplier.
- Nominees must fit in one of the three categories: Insurers, Distributors or Suppliers (see ICTA overview for details and further criteria)

Notes about Nominations.
- Nominations may include additional material in support of the application. All such information will become the property of Insurance-Canada.ca and may be used by Insurance-Canada.ca on its website, in print, or elsewhere.
- The application should not include any information that is proprietary; however, references will be sought to validate evidence of the impact. If the nomination does contain proprietary information, please mark it clearly so that it will not be released.
- References may be requested to validate evidence of the impact.
- In many cases the company being nominated is using the technology. If a technology provider is being nominated, you must either reference another nomination for a company using the technology OR provide a "shadow" nomination for a "using" company.
- For "multi-party business application implementations",
- at least two nominees must be insurance practitioners (insurer, broker, services provider (appraiser, independent adjuster, restorer etc.)).
- A maximum of five, preferably fewer, nominees.
- When one of these nominees wins, all will be recognized.
